Historical Timeline

Year - 1886: Founded in the working-class heart of the military arsenal

The club was founded in October 1886, originally under the name ‘Dial Square’, by an enthusiastic group of Scottish and English workers at the vast Royal Arsenal arms and munitions factory, located in the working-class area of Woolwich in south-east London. Led by David Danskin, who bought the first ball, and Jack Humble, the workers sought to create a recreational outlet from their gruelling working days spent forging cannons and explosives for the British Empire.

Year - 1913–1930s: The move to Highbury and Herbert Chapman’s revolution

Plagued by financial problems and low attendance figures in Woolwich, chairman Sir Henry Norris took the drastic and controversial decision to move the club to north London in 1913, building the historic Highbury stadium. In 1925, the arrival of the visionary manager Herbert Chapman changed the history of English football by introducing the revolutionary ‘WM’ formation, catapulting Arsenal to overwhelming dominance as they won five league titles and two FA Cups in the 1930s.

Year - 1970–1971: The long-awaited first domestic double

Under the iron-fisted leadership of Bertie Mee, a former physiotherapist turned manager, Arsenal built a relentlessly tough and tactical side captained by Frank McLintock. After ending a painful 17-year trophy drought by winning the Fairs Cup in 1970, the side achieved the coveted and historic domestic double (League and FA Cup) in 1971, narrowly defeating Liverpool in extra time in the final at Wembley thanks to a legendary goal from Charlie George.

Year - 1986–1995: George Graham’s defensive and glorious era

The return of former club legend George Graham as manager saw the establishment of a legendary and almost impregnable defensive unit (known for the ironic chant ‘Boring, boring Arsenal’). The high point of this era came on the final matchday of the 1988–89 season, when Michael Thomas scored a historic and dramatic last-minute goal at the legendary Anfield, literally snatching the league title from the mighty Liverpool on goal difference in the most epic finish in English football.

Year - 1996–2006: Wenger’s aesthetic revolution and ‘The Invincibles’

The surprise appointment of French manager Arsène Wenger radically transformed the club’s philosophy, eradicating the old culture of alcohol, introducing innovative and strict diets, and deploying a brilliant, fast-paced attacking style of play. His absolute masterpiece was the legendary squad of the 2003–04 season (The Invincibles), led by Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira, who won the Premier League without suffering a single defeat in 38 matches – a historic record, unrivalled in the modern era, which preceded the ambitious move to the luxurious Emirates Stadium in 2006.
